Rose McGowan insists she wasn't accusing Meryl Streep of knowingly staying silent about Harvey Weinstein's alleged misconduct when she called out the actress earlier this week.

McGowan, who condemned the former Weinstein collaborators who are planning a silent protest at the Golden Globes, fired back at Vogue Australia after the outlet tweeted that McGowan had accused Streep of "knowing about Weinstein's crimes."

"F off .@vogueAustralia I did not accuse her of that," McGowan tweeted in response Tuesday. "Step back."

McGowan sparked the controversy over the weekend when she blasted Streep and others for preparing to wear black to the Jan. 7 awards show in a show of solidarity with those affected by sexual harassment and assault.

"Actresses, like Meryl Streep, who happily worked for The Pig Monster, are wearing black @goldenglobes in a silent protest. YOUR SILENCE is THE problem," McGowan tweeted in a since-deleted post. "You'll accept a fake award breathlessly & affect no real chance. I despise your hypocrisy."

McGowan has accused Weinstein of raping her, and has been highly vocal about Hollywood's sexual misconduct problems in recent months.

Women who have accused Harvey Weinstein of sexual harassment and assault

"I wasn't deliberately silent. I didn't know. I don't tacitly approve of rape. I didn't know. I don't like young women being assaulted. I didn't know this was happening," she said in one portion of the statement.

Streep notably starred in the Weinstein-produced films "The Iron Lady" and "August: Osage County," and jokingly referred to Weinstein as "God" during a Golden Globes acceptance speech in 2012.

She stressed that she was not aware of any allegations against Weinstein in October, when accusations against the shamed moviemaker first began to emerge.

McGowan alsocondemned Streep at the beginning of the month for referring to Weinstein's alleged actions as "the most gargantuan example of disrespect" at a seminar.

"No, Meryl, IT'S A F---ING CRIME," McGowan tweeted in response. "You are such a lie."

Dozens of women have come forward in recent months to accuse Weinstein of sexual harassment, assault or rape. Weinstein has denied all allegations of non-consensual sex.
